I had the urge to write about this daily habit that takes 10 minutes or less, but can have an incredible influence on you and your family’s health!

Right now in our world there are a lot of people who would love to feel better about their bodies. Studies show that a good portion of both men and women are unsatisfied with themselves or struggle with self-confidence. This is no secret, and it is apparent that as a society we are searching for better answers than painful dieting and hours in the gym.

I was first introduced to the idea of green smoothies by Robyn Openshaw when I was a teenager. I struggled a lot with body image during adolescence, and more than wanting to feel beautiful I also wanted to feel healthy. So I was always looking for the secrets to having a body I felt confident walking around in!

Think of how it feels if you’re trying to clean the kitchen and before you’re done someone comes in and starts pulling out food to make a big meal. It would definitely slow you down or maybe even stop you from cleaning completely. Our body is the same way.
